2. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

   A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

3. Decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

   An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠, 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n , whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.

4. Numeral system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

   By using a dot to divide the digits into two groups, one can also write fractions in the positional system. For example, the base 2 numeral 10.11 denotes 1×2 1 + 0×2 0 + 1×2 −1 + 1×2 −2 = 2.75. In general, numbers in the base b system are of the form:

5. Duodecimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal

   The duodecimal system, also known as base twelve or dozenal, is a positional numeral system using twelve as its base. In duodecimal, the number twelve is denoted "10", meaning 1 twelve and 0 units; in the decimal system, this number is instead written as "12" meaning 1 ten and 2 units, and the string "10" means ten.

6. List of numeral systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numeral_systems

   The smallest base in which all fractions ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ to ⁠ 1 / 18 ⁠ have periods of 4 or shorter. 23: Kalam language, [46] Kobon language [citation needed] 24: Quadravigesimal [47] 24-hour clock timekeeping; Greek alphabet; Kaugel language. 25: Sometimes used as compact notation for quinary. 26: Hexavigesimal [47] [48]

7. Positional notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

   10 b = b for any base b, since 10 b = 1×b 1 + 0×b 0. For example, 10 2 = 2; 10 3 = 3; 10 16 = 16 10. Note that the last "16" is indicated to be in base 10. The base makes no difference for one-digit numerals. This concept can be demonstrated using a diagram. One object represents one unit.

8. Quinary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinary

   Quinary (base 5 or pental[1][2][3]) is a numeral system with five as the base. A possible origination of a quinary system is that there are five digits on either hand. In the quinary place system, five numerals (0, 1, 4, 7, and 9), are used to represent any real number. As five is a prime number, only the reciprocals of the powers of five ...

9. p-adic number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-adic_number

   The 3-adic integers, with selected corresponding characters on their Pontryagin dual group. In number theory, given a prime number p, the p-adic numbers form an extension of the rational numbers which is distinct from the real numbers, though with some similar properties; p-adic numbers can be written in a form similar to (possibly infinite) decimals, but with digits based on a prime number p ...
